merry christmas contest - Mega Miniatures

This issue we have a taste of
things to come for both
Chronopia and Ultimate Warzone.
The first picture (top-center) is of
an Arch Necromancer for the
Devout army and if they can get
the miniature to look as cool as
the drawing then they have a
winner on their hands. From the
look of the picture the figure will
be considerably bulkier than a
normal spellcaster due to the
bony exoskeleton that he (?) is
wearing.
I have no guess as to his stats,
but being an ‘arch’ version of the
regular necromancer should mean
that he’ll be even more adept at
bringing more Risen into the
game. Never a bad thing for a
devout player.
From the looks of the picture I
would expect him to come as
two, maybe three pieces. One
for the body, one for the head,
and maybe one more for
whatever pointy skeletal thingy
is on his back.
Second (bottom-center) is a
preliminary picture of a Cat
Warrior, which is apparently a
new race for Chronopia. If you
took a close look at the
Chronopia background
information from the previous
issue of Fictional Reality you
probably noticed several new
names floating around. I’d
expect some to be additions to
existing armies and from the
looks of it at least one new
race entering the game.
A feline-humanoid race sounds
interesting and I think that I’d
drop them closer to the neutral
side of things rather than
strictly good (Firstborn) or evil
(Devout). Of course, depending
on your view of things you might
have those two armies reversed.
Knowing absolutely nothing about
these Cat Warriors I would expect
their army to be high in the
Movement and Defense
categories while quite low in
Armor. The crew at Excelsior will
have to make sure that they are
different enough from the Sons of
Kronos who share those traits
listed above. I’m sure they are
up to the task.
I bet that stealthy approaches
and troops with Frenzy could
show up and I think that a chariot
drawn by giant saber-tooth tigers
would be quite a cool site on the
battlefield.
On the Ultimate Warzone front
we start off with even more
artillery for Mishima. Last time
we saw the artwork for the
Typhoon Rocket Launcher and
now (top-next page) a Mishima
Cannon. Looks like a crew of
three or four (I think there’s
part of the fourth guy behind
the cannon) and enough punch
to put a hurting on something
as large as a Bio-Giant or
Praetorian Behemoth. I’d
rather not get hit with it if I’m
just a grunt running across nomans-land!
I’d expect it to be able to fire
indirectly also and a selection of
ammunition would be a nice
touch.
More Mishima goodness follows
on the next page with another
Monk, of the West Wind this
time, and a rather stealthy and
deadly looking chick from the
Order of the Lotus.
